Beschreibung

Shadow House She's out to avenge her sister's death - he's on a path to self-destruction. Heather Todd's life had never been easy, but when her sister died as a result of overcut cocaine, everything changed. Now she's determined to take down Sydney's notorious organized crime ring, vowing to ensure her sister didn't die in vain. Ex MI6 operative turned world sailor, Sam Autenburg is on a bender after his partner died, also as a result of overcut cocaine. When one night things go desperately wrong for Sam, Heather comes to his rescue. Taunting and goading him, she eventually convinces him to take on her cause and infiltrate the organized crime syndicate responsible for her sister's, and his partner's, deaths. Going after the brutal gang will be no easy feat, and in order to stop them, Sam and Heather must put their own lives on the line. Together in loss and driven by revenge, Sam and Heather hunt for justice, and in doing so, begin their own path to redemption. Can they find the evidence they need without getting caught? Are they strong enough to take on this fight without losing themselves in the process? Find out in this action-packed thriller, filled with daring adventure and high-risk operations! Meet Me at Harry's Ex-Detective Lieutenant Stacia Black, formerly of the Chicago Police Department, knows all about violence and poverty. She grew up with it. As a cop working for the Organized Crime Division's Narcotics section, she fought against it. Maybe she's been on the wrong side all these years. The side that stays poor while others get rich. Now she's in Sydney's notorious Kings Cross, looking to make a score of her own. What she needs is a man with connections. Something of a loner, quiet and cynical Nick Miller has been content to run a bar and stay out of trouble until Stacia appears, looking to make a deal with the head of organised crime-the boss of Kings Cross. Nick's no criminal, but he knows people. People like underworld enforcer Ray Peterson. Nick is balanced on a knife's edge, torn between his loyalties to his acquaintances and his hunger for something better. He steps off the edge, straight into a world of danger and deceit, where the only thing that matters is making it out alive. Can a dishonest American cop teach Nick to live again, or will she get him killed? Can they stay out of jail, stay alive, and stay together? Flank Street A woman with a lust for money and danger... A man with a hunger for risk and adrenaline... Can they con the Sydney underworld and get away with murder? Or will they both end up dumped in a dark alley? No one can be believed. No one can be trusted. Welcome to King's Cross... When Micky DeWitt sails into Sydney, Australia, his only assets are a run down yacht, his wits, and the skills he's picked up as a dedicated career criminal. Shiftless, cynical and dishonest, even with himself, Micky takes a job as a barman in Sydney's seedy red light district of Kings Cross. He's a chameleon, seeing himself as both master criminal and chilled-out world sailor. He wants a life on Easy Street, is driven by the desire to 'get away with it,' and addicted to the adrenaline rush that comes with that life. Carol Todd is turned on by money and risk-taking. For Carol, there's no such thing as "enough". Being an escort to a few wealthy clients is just a means to an end. A couple of underworld connections help, too. But what she needs for her latest con is a fall guy-someone she can use and lose once she's done with him. And Micky DeWitt looks like the perfect man to fall into her sultry, seductive honey trap. Playing to Micky's twisted sense of chivalry, Carol leads him into a hedonistic free-fall. As Micky's life spins out of control it doesn't take long to graduate from burglary to arson, then accessory to murder. And no matter which way he moves, someone's going to get ...

I've always written, as far back as I can recall anyway. Until 2011, that writing was just for me, or as rambling letters to friends, and travelogues to family. I never thought about why, or if others did similarly, and the thought of publishing never entered my head.

Since I left England in 1979, I've travelled widely, collecting experiences, people, and places as I did so. From the blood-soaked streets of Kampala, the polluted dust bowls of the Sahara, or the pristine ice floes of the Antarctic, I've gathered and filed them away. Some have recently squeezed through the bars of insecurity and are now at large in the pages of my first four novels. Others await their future fates.

Although I grew up in Norfolk, UK, I never felt truly at home until I lived in Australia, and that is no doubt the reason my first published novels are set there. All of my books this far have some element of fact in them. I guess it's hard for any writer not to include events from their life. Our experiences shape our thoughts and the words and actions of our characters.
I sometimes wish I'd become a novelist earlier in life, but then if I had, I wouldn't have the range of characters and events that I do.

After spending much of my adult life travelling, I now live in Whitley Bay, UK.
